I agree with you. You must suffer the consequences of your actions. No whether you are responsible for what happened is another story.

You didn't steal it, but you're out $100. and my point isn't about blame. it's just a real life statement about consequences. You paint a landscape with your actions. and accept the consequences. It's not a morality statement - it is just that what you do - directly influences what happens. As an aside - I am usually happy leaving money on my desk at work and places like that - I think it's worth the $20 or whatever it might cost me to know whether or not someone would steal from me.

Let's say there is $100 in the wallet - left out in the open. Somebody wanders by and scoops the money. Who's responsible? Let's say that $100 is mine on loan to you. Who's responsible? Not my analogy, but I would be responsible to pay you back, however not responsible that someone took the money. Am I responsible if someone breaks into my car and steals it and runs over someone. Nope. They are. Would I be responsible if I gave them the keys. Nope. Now if I gave them they keys knowing they were incapacitated somehow then you might be able to assign some blame to me. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Dawson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 2:11 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Episode II >>Just have to argue your logic here. You yourself are not responsible >>for someone else's actions. Period. Yes you might be stupid for >>leaving your wallet out in the open, but not responsible because the >>person took it. That's like saying that if someone broke into >>my house and took my gun and killed someone with it I am responsible >> >>because they used my gun. But you ARE responsible for your OWN actions. I don't want to get into the morality of the thread, but there are two parties involved in the distribution of illegal materials. Period. Using your wallet analogy. Let's say there is $100 in the wallet - left out in the open. Somebody wanders by and scoops the money. Who's responsible? Let's say that $100 is mine on loan to you. Who's responsible? guilt or wrong doing by another party does not absolve responsibility. ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
